Kings Walden Village Hall, Church Road, Kings Walden, Nr Hitchin, Hertfordshire, SG4 8JX
The first Kings Walden farmers market will take place in the newly refurbished Kings Walden village Hall on Friday 14th November (12-3pm). Bringing together a diverse range of local producers for the first time under one roof, it will offer visitors the chance to sample an array of high quality food produced in their home region. There will be locally reared lamb, beef and pork from Offley Hoo farm, pheasant and partridge from the Kings Walden Estate, deli-style tarts and quiches made at the Kings Walden village shop, mouth-watering patisseries baked in nearby Lilley, locally grown organic vegetables, and many other artisan foods and ingredients.
Organiser Henrietta Pilkington hopes that the market will not only raise funds for the local church, but will also build on the strong sense of community in the parish and surrounding villages. “It is very exciting; we are hoping to create a regular event offering high quality local produce that we can all enjoy.”
Queries and requests for further information should, for now, be sent to the Kings Walden Website email address as displayed in the site masthead so they can be forwarded to the organiser.
